RollAwayz in Australia
RollAwayz is a Google Earth tool for locating wheelchair accessible accommodations throughout Australia. The publisher, Spinal Cord Injury Australia, also offers an accessible transit map for Sydney.
The directory includes this explanation:
Each location on this map has been reported as having at least one room that is wheelchair accessible. That means that there are no steps to get to and into the room, and that its bathroom has a stepless shower stall and a hand-held shower.Posted by rollingrains at October 28, 2008 02:02 PMTo ensure that your holiday and business travel won't be spoilt by an inaccessible room it is important that you check for yourself before booking. Speak to someone who has been in the room and is familiar with its access features. What suits one person might not be right for another so it’s essential to ask detailed questions.
More locations and information are being added all the time, so visit www.scia.org.au/publications for a fresh copy when you are planning your next Australian roll away.
